Listening to How To End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang

 

Hello Bookies,

I've been listening to this new book that got selected through the spin of my random wheel. This book is the whole enemies to lovers kind of romance. Our two main characters actually don't get a long due to the fact of the lead female character's sister dying. I won't explain how that happened, but I will suggest reading the trigger warnings in the beginning in the book because they just kind of jump right into it. It's a heavy scene and I know it might be too intense for some readers. Anyway the book is okay so far. I feel like it still follows the typical romance formula. Only this time our main female character is a successful author while our main male character is a struggling script writer. They have history involving female character's sister, but they are forced together because the books that our female character wrote are being turned into a movie. That is as far as I got. I just have to listen more in order to see how this book plays out. But so far the book is a little boring at this point. Romance books are kind of getting a little plain for me. Maybe that is why I like reading dark romance more.

So until next time...

DNF The Only Good Indians

 

Hey there Bookies,

I tried and I feel like I was missing something with this book. I just couldn't get into it. I got about halfway and understood none of it. I'm sure that this is a good book, but it just wasn't for me. This was a book that just didn't vibe with me. But at least I gave it a try. I wish I could tell you what the book was about but I don't even remember anything. It's like my brain refused to absorb any of it. I guess I'll just have to move on to the next book. Sorry I couldn't update you with more on this book. If you are curious, feel free to check out the book and maybe you can explain to me what this book is all about.

So until next time...

Almost done reading Onyx Storm

 

Hello there Bookies,

Well this will be my last post on Onyx Storm. I'm not sure what to tell you because a lot happens, and I mean a lot. I really can't tell you pretty much anything going on in this book because it will just ruin the second book in the series. And honestly, I don't remember all that I've already told you. We have Violet in search of a new dragon breed. Xaden trying to keep control. Conflict of the war going on. The usual stuff. I have like seven chapters left and I plan to finish those tonight. But I still like that this series has an actual plot than focus on the romance part of the book. Now I will probably have to wait two or three years until the fourth book comes out, but I will be sure to sign myself up to get the book through the library as soon as it's available. Again the book gets four stars. I enjoyed it and loved it, but it wasn't a five star read. Unless at the very end it breaks my heart. But you'll never know. 

So until next time...

Started reading The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

 

Hey Bookies,

I put an app on my tablet to pick books for me and this is the first book it picked. I know nothing about this book but I think it is a horror. I'm not sure though. The only way I will find out is if I read the book. So far I've only read a few pages. So far I have learned that this book has Native American people in it. That is all. You know me, I like going into books blind. But this book has been on my library holds list for a while and it's time I finally work my way through it. Reason why I got the random picker on my tablet. Anyway I plan on starting on reading this book soon. It's time I get back to reading and sharing my thoughts with you again.

So until next time...

Read Stay on the Line by Clay McLeod Chapman

 

Hello Bookies,

I thought I would get back into reading by reading a nice short book. This book was only 50 pages, so a quick read. It's a book about this town that gets hit by a hurricane and is completely devastated. But next to the pier and a small bar, there is a phone booth that stayed standing the whole time. Eventually people realize that they can talk to their loved ones at this phone booth. So they come up with some rules, fix it up, and talk to those they lost to the hurricane. Until people start disappearing and are later found dead. That is all I'm going to say. This book was pretty short and I was able to get it done pretty quick. Took me at least an hour if I wasn't disturbed. Since its a short book, I probably won't give it a rating. But it would have been nice to see this story in more detail. It's an interesting concept and I'd like to know more about the story. 

So until next time....

Let's get personal #31

 Hey there Bookies,

I know it's been a while since I posted anything. I've been busy since school started with my subbing job and working at the library on top of it. I have not finished Onyx Storm yet, and I kind of don't want to. Not if the rumors on how it ends are true. So now I am being stubborn about finishing it. Also it doesn't help when my family are also very needy and my phone is dead to the world. I have no music to read anymore and it is a bit annoying. Anyway that is all that is pretty much going on. Just letting you all know that I am still alive. 

So until next time...

Started listening to Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

 Hello there Bookies,

Well, I have begun my mission to get caught up to this series. I know that once I am done with this book, I'll be impatiently waiting for the reveal of the fourth book. Yes, it has been confirmed that this series is five books. Yarros just hasn't said anymore than that sadly. Anyway our lovely leading lady Violet is on a mission. Well she is on a few. One being that she is trying to find more of her second dragon's kind. If you haven't read Iron Flame, I will not elaborate. Same thing with the fact that she is also trying to find a cure for Xaden because of the sacrifice he made in order to protect Violet. But things aren't going to be easy. With tension at the war college she attends making the college split into two groups. Those that didn't leave and face the truth and those that went to face the truth. Also with a peace treaty with the projected enemy is under way, making things even more tense. Already the book has me interested with the drama and I am curious on how this is all going to play out. I am only a few chapters in and I can't say too much because it will just ruin the whole series for those that read it.

So until next time....
